CASE 8: Case Attribution for COVID-19: Who Counts What?

Representatives from each Canadian province and territory have come together to discuss the discrepancies noted in the attribution of COVID-19 cases between jurisdictions. Senior epidemiologist, Nina Mendez, is leading a case attribution project to give provinces and territories a forum for discussing any jurisdiction issues they encounter when reporting COVID-19 cases. Nina notices discrepancies in the way provinces and territories are reporting cases, where the majority of jurisdictions have been reporting cases based on official permanent residence, however two jurisdictions have been attributing cases based on location of diagnosis. This discrepancy in attribution leads to a discussion about how different protocols influence the way public health measures are implemented within each jurisdiction.
